  WHAT CAN YOU SEE? Genesis 13:7-18 Devotional:- “And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are-northward, southward, eastward, and westward” (V. 15) NKJV Everyone on the earth is looking forward to enter into the New Year at this season. Sometimes we forget the principle that gives birth to our joy and just continue anyhow. One of the things you must consider right now is the need to see right to have it right in the New Year. Nothing happens by mere accident. It is now you can determine what must be for you in the New Year. You just begin to see with your inner eye some things God shall do for you in the New Year (Isaiah 43:19). See, if you can’t see it you may not receive it. After Lot left Abraham. God knew that He is going to take him to another season of his life. God therefore employed this working principle. So that Abraham can be pregnant with the things God is about to birth through him and God sai...

WHAT IS GROWTH

WHAT IS GROWTH   

Luke 2:36-40
Devotional:-“And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him” (v.40) NKJV


    The reason why people live in frustration is because of lack of growth. Life become unbearable when man can no longer cope with his challenges. The reason man cannot cope with the challenges of his life is because, he is weak in that aspect of life (Proverbs 24:10). Instead of complaining, God expect us to build up and overcome the challenges of our lives. So, the way to progress in life is growth. 

    Growth is the act of increasing, becoming stronger and better in life. In the scripture we read today, we saw Jesus growing up as a child, yet increasing in different aspect of His life. This is a key factor to your success on earth. Jesus was growing stronger in the spirit because, that is what He was made of and that is what we are also made of (John 4: 24, Genesis 1:26-27). He was filled with wisdom and was growing in understanding (Proverbs 4:7). He also acquires the grace of God because growth qualifies for grace (Proverbs 4:9).

    These are blessings that comes with growth. Let us refuse to be victim of life but be willing to grow up in Christ Jesus, so that we can be qualified for our heritage in God (Galatians 4: 1). A none growing person will miss out in the blessings of life. But when we grow up, we do not only qualify but become strong enough to handle the good things of life. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me a heart for growth. 

"NO GROWTH, NO HERITAGE"

Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
